cbosdell Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Since uTorrent 1.4 implemented RSS Feeds I really am wondering why? Is there a way to download files via it or something? If not it seems to me that it is very unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iopq Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 because you can subscribe to an RSS feed of a site that releases the files that you want say... every week and download them automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yes, it's for downloading .torrents through RSS. There's RSS feeds specifically for . torrent files. http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_.C2.B5Torrent_support_RSS_feeds.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PabUK Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 The RSS feature is brilliant. It made uT feature-complete for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 RSS is totally useless for me, but what can you do...can't win them all. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I have found another use for the RSS, except for auto downloading new episodes and movies.You can also use the RSS to download rare things. It saves allot of your time to use the RSS to find rare things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I use RSS to autodownload new podcasts, but I also set it to * to quickly download the entire backlog of a podcast I've just discovered.It's damn useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Can someone help me out here?The RSS feature wont autodownload for me...Any clue?All it does is to show the release with a blue circle with a white checkmark in it.And thats the symbol for "already downloaded" but i havent downloaded it and it wont start by itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 The only thing I can think of is to remove rss.dat and rss.dat.old and re-enter the feeds and favorites. It might be a good idea to keep backups of them in case you have many entries what are your primary RSS "targets" ? ... If this was directed to me, You should be able to find out the target by looking at my name and avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 See if you have both DL directory and torrent directory - defined in preferences. If not - define them in the favorites filter.Also - try this RSS feed that usually works: VTV |http://tvrss.net/sources/vtv/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Did you try to get it manually from the Releases tab? It may mean the feed doesn't have direct links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I suggest that you email your rss feeds links to ludde, let him check them. One more possible cause can be that they are RSS 2.0 that is not supported by uT yet...more feeds:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=40970#p40970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
